Bartender's Tip

🍸 Use fresh, high-quality grapefruit juice for the best vibrant flavor.

Why It Works

The bright, slightly bitter notes of grapefruit are an excellent counterpoint to the agave sweetness of blanco tequila. Elderflower liqueur adds a delicate floral aroma and a hint of sweetness, while agave nectar ensures a smooth, balanced mouthfeel.
